 Embracing the Nature of Water

Honouring the Waters of our Planet and the Waters Within Ourselves

Water is life — flowing through our bodies, our homes, and across the Earth.

“Embracing the Nature of Water” invites you to reconnect with this precious element: to drink water mindfully, care for our rivers, lakes, and oceans, and honour the wisdom of First Nations peoples who hold water as sacred. Through thoughtful hydration, clean household practices, and conscious choices in nutrition and skincare, we nurture ourselves while protecting The Waters within and without, that sustain all life here on our beautiful planet.

The Living Element – Why Water Matters

Water is life — flowing through every cell of our bodies, every river and ocean, connecting us to all living systems. Beyond simple hydration, water is the carrier of nutrients, energy, and consciousness. Science confirms Water has the remarkable ability to record and respond — reflecting the environments and intentions it encounters.

Every day, our wellbeing and the health of our planet depend on access to clean, living water. Yet, 1 in 4 people globally still lack safe drinking water¹ — reminding us to be grateful for the access to clean water that many of us do have and that this essential resource must be cherished, protected, and respected.

The Science and Spirit of Water

For ever and beyond, spiritual traditions and quantum science alike have honoured water - seen as both sacred and intelligent. In modern times, Dr. Masaru Emoto’s pioneering work The Hidden Messages in Water showed that water crystals exposed to words of love and gratitude formed symmetrical, beautiful structures, while those exposed to negative emotions became distorted². 

 

Through his research, it was revealed that water not only collects information but is also sensitive to feelings and consciousness.

Veda Austin, New Zealand researcher and artist, demonstrates Water’s divine communicative intelligence — how it forms imagery that mirrors emotion, intention, energy and memory³.  Her primary area of focus is photographing water in its ‘state of creation’, the space between liquid and ice. It is through her remarkable crystallographic photos that water reveals its awareness of not only Creation, but thought and intention through imagery. Veda sees water as Source rather than a resource, and considers all bodies of water to be sacred. (*12) 

Zhara Mahlstedt, Author of "Reigniting the Souls Spark" & "The Hearts Portal", and founder of LifeFX Living Water, shares "The body is composed of 99% water molecules, yet much of the water we drink is of low quality—contaminated (even when filtered!), with a low vibrational frequency, and lacking the properties needed to support the body’s natural energy production."

She urges for our health & wellbeing - "Drink water that has life force and integrity restored. Water that is clean, revitalised and enhanced with Earth’s electromagnetic charge will help you purge the substances that have clogged the vessel of life." = your beautiful body!

We agree 100% how important it is the quality of the Water we drink and expose our body to in showers etc for our health and vitality. 

Their's and many others work and insights, remind us: water is not passive. It responds to vibration, thought, and emotion — carrying the imprints of our collective energy. When we offer gratitude or care, water reflects harmony back into our lives and the Earth.

The Role of Structured Water in Hydration, Detoxification, Nutrient Absorption, and Energy Production

To assist in making possible access to structured, remineralised Water for our selves and our waterways, Zhara is Creator of Tools for Water Purification - LifeFX droplets. 

Zhara shares water is essential for maintaining cellular function, regulating body temperature, and transporting nutrients throughout the body. It also lubricates joints, cushions organs, and supports the body’s natural detoxification and hydration processes.

Dehydration is a common "condition" amongst many when going for hours, even all day without sipping a glass of water. Or drinking water can substituted for soft drinks, alcohol, coffee, flavoured drinks - all requiring effective levels of hydration = water, to be present in our system to process the "cocktail" that is the ingredients of the said drinks. While all drinks have a content of water as a general rule, in our opinion, nothing beats the living bioactive benefits of pure water in supporting healthy kidney and lymphatic function plus so much more in our  beautiful bodies.

If you have ever had a headache or feelings of tiredness - try drinking a few glasses of water to improve hydration and re-energise. (NB: not diagnostic advice, general information only. Please always consult your health care practitioner with any conditions of concern.)

Thought to ponder; The water we drink, bathe in, and release into the Earth carries not only our physical waste but our collective energy and consciousness.

First Nations Wisdom – Water as Sacred Life Force

For First Nations peoples of Australia and Indigenous cultures worldwide, water is a living ancestor — a being to be protected and respected. Caring for water is integral to Caring for Country — the spiritual and ecological duty to maintain balance and wellbeing across land, sky, and sea.

Elder Uncle Max Dulumunmun Harrison (Yuin Nation) reminds us:

“You look after the water, and the water looks after you.”⁴

Similarly, the Lakota expression Mni Wiconi — “Water is Life,” is a call for unity and respect for Earth’s sacred waters⁵.

Among the Māori, Waiora means the purest form of Water, the source of life and wellbeing... the sacred and holistic knowingness of Beingness.

The source of life, Wai (water) and Ora (life) $wai$$ora$

Waiora is understood as both a physical and spiritual connection to the environment, with water holding profound spiritual importance for renewal and life, describing The Water of life — pure, flowing vitality that nourishes the physical and spiritual⁶.

These ancient & sacred teachings offer us all an invitation: to see water not as a resource simply to be consumed, but as a relationship to be nurtured — a teacher, a mirror, and a living spirit.

The Waters Within Us

Our bodies are composed of up to 70% water⁷. A molecular weight of 99%!!!

The same molecular rhythm that moves oceans flows within our cells, blood, and lymphatic systems. Hydration isn’t just about quenching thirst — it’s about maintaining the electrical and energetic communication that keeps us alive.

When we drink purified, mineral-rich water, we nourish our tissues and organs, support detoxification, and enhance the flow of life-force energy (prana, qi, or vital essence) throughout our being.

Mayella’s holistic ethos supports this inner flow within our offerings. A practice of embracing the gifts that pure, natural and organic plant-based products have to offer our health & wellbeing in harmony with low-tox / no-tox, slow living. 

• Herbal teas like Beauty & Brains or Skin Tonic invite mindful hydration and contemplation. A moment to connect all the while restoring electrolyte and cellular resonance, sip by blissful sip.

• Nutritional Greens & Antioxidant blends protect, repair & renew. Restoring essential minerals that build beautiful blood, detox and harmonise body and mind. Cretaing a natural electrolyte drink - adding a teaspoon daily to your glass or bottle of water can change & charge your life for the better!

• Botanical skincare, free from microplastics, phthalates, artificial and synthetic chemicals, in alignment with our skin's natural function and needs - for healthy, glowing skin. Importantly with no nasty chemicals leaching into your lymphatic system, breast tissue or body, choosing Mayella plant based, natural, toxic chemical and plastics free skincare keeps both your body and our waterways clean.

Tip: we are often asked about water filters or how access pure drinking water. We recommend by personal experience and for over 27 years we have personally been using Durand Family Stoneware Pottery vessels and water filtration units. Find a link here Durand Stoneware Water filters

They are a most beautiful medium to hold your water in - the hand pieced stoneware  pottery is like a wine cellar for your water! The water filters give you absolute confidence in the water you and your family are consuming daily. You can taste the water!

Thought to ponder; In choosing pure, living, clean water we’re not only hydrating — we’re honouring the temple of our body and its sacred flow. It is an act of devotion — to yourself and to the living Earth.

Every Drop Counts – Caring for Water at Home

How we use water daily shapes both personal health and planetary wellbeing. Caring for our personal water use is a form of environmental stewardship - the macro. Caring for our inner waters, the micro - environmental stewardship of our vessel!
Every small, conscious action ripples outward:

• Drink filtered or purified water with natural minerals that charge our cells. Investigate home filtration units for bathing, washing & drinking water to remove heavy metals, microplastics, and chlorine residues.⁸ 

• Choose biodegradable, natural, low-tox products that don’t continue release toxins to prevent pollution of waterways. An example of this in skincare is the microplastic beads in exfoliants. Mayella's exfoliating scrub has natural quartz crystals!

• Compost herbal tea leaves and food waste to return nutrients to the soil.

• Limit water waste by collecting grey water for gardens when possible.

• Practice gratitude before drinking or bathing — even a quiet moment of awareness transforms how we relate to this life-giving element and The Water relates to us. Use words such as " I love you" before sipping your water !

Thought to ponder; As we cleanse, hydrate, and restore ourselves, we participate in the great cycle of renewal that sustains life on Earth. When we treat water with reverence, it returns vitality — to our health, our homes, and our shared planet.Rituals of Connection – Reawakening Water Consciousness.

Incorporating simple water rituals brings mindfulness to our days and rekindles connection, transforming routine into reverence:

• Begin each morning with a glass of room temperature water held in gratitude.

• Whisper an intention or blessing before sipping tea.

• Let your shower become a cleansing ritual — letting the water wash away and releasing energy, not just dirt.

• Spend time near natural bodies of water; their negative ions and sound frequency soothe the nervous system, refresh the spirit and restore emotional balance⁹ .

As Veda Austin reflects, “Water mirrors the soul of humanity.” When we care for it — physically and spiritually — we invite balance, clarity, and compassion back into our collective flow.

Caring for Country · Honouring the Waters

Let this be our collective prayer:

May we drink with gratitude, wash with reverence, and act with awareness — so that the Waters of our Planet, and the Waters within, may flow in purity, peace, and abundance.

Dr. Pollack author of the book "Fourth Phase of Water" agreed with iconic Hour of Power host Sharon Kleyne when being interviewed, that the best way to maintain health is to drink eight to ten glasses of pure water each day, in addition to all other liquid intake. Dr. Pollack emphatically shares that the natural mineral content of the water we drink is important because minerals tends to generate structured water, which he believes is more readily absorbed by the body cells than regular unstructured liquid water. 

Thought to ponder: Dr. Pollack & Kleyne theorise that the lack of adequate water in the body, also known as " dehydration,” is ultimately responsible for most disease processes.

Powerful Reflection

Water connects every being, every ecosystem, every emotion. When we care for it — in our bodies, our homes, and on our planet — we return to harmony with nature’s rhythm. In every drop lives a reflection of who we are, and who we choose to become.

In respect and tribute to Uncle Max, (10.) who's decades of passing on his People's teachings became his life’s work with his book My People’s Dreaming – providing a way for others to understand Aboriginal culture. His teachings cover the Yuin people’s Creation Dreaming, bush lore, foods, healing, laws and punishment, spirituality and the significance of relationship to land.

In passing on traditional wisdom Uncle Max focuses on three truths: See the land … the beauty; Hear the land … the story; Feel the land … the spirit. 

Uncle Max speaks of life, land, spirit and forgiveness.  

Mother Earth births everything for us.

Father Sky carries the water and

oxygen for us to breathe.

Grandfather Sun warms the planet,

warms our body, gives us light so

we can see, raises the food that the

Mother births and raises most of our

relations, all our plants and trees.

Grandmother Moon moves the water and

gives us the woman-time and our birthing

Mayella acknowledges and honours the Traditional Custodians of Australia, whose deep and enduring care for Country continues to guide us. We pay respect to Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognise their unbroken relationship with the Lands and Waters we all depend upon.

Much Love, abundant health & happiness
